G Sharp Phrygian Positions On The Guitar Fretboard

G SHARP PHRYGIAN MODE

‘G sharp phrygian’ is the 3rd mode of the E major scale. The notes in G# Phrygian are:

G# – A – B – C# – D# – E – F#

If you have read the post on understanding the phrygian mode, you will know that the phrygian mode contains a ‘flat 2’, a ‘flat 3’, a ‘flat 6’ and a ‘flat 7’ (parallel approach). You will also know that it is the 3rd mode of a major scale (derivative approach). Let’s briefly look at how to construct G# Phrygian using both the parallel approach and the derivative approach.
